other best friend; and Ed Bighead and Bev Bighead, Rocko's neighbors; as

nostalgia for the past can save him from the tortures of the modern
world.

Life follows the adventures of an Australian wallaby named Rocko and
his two companions, Heffer and Filburt, through their adventures in
their home of O-Town.
